Garden State Park to Brooklyn took forever and everytime I went there, it was dense fog on the ride back.

Wanna talk about a tough ride home....Mohawk or Woodbine back to Buffalo. Seems like broader patrol is relentless coming back, checking trunk, etc.They always ask how much is in your wallet, if I win, I am afraid to say because I am not sure what you have to say?

last spring a horse i was in on was racing at tioga, goes off as the fav and chits the bed completely. rained cats and dogs the whole ride home. 3 hours of hell.same nag was racing in the 14th or 15 race at pocono a few weeks later..same senario except this time she was a t long odds and raced as such. just watched the replay again today and i can still see my head drop at the finish line as the whole reality set in of how long id been waiting for the race, how much i had into the filly and how long the ride home was gonna be.....funny now. not then.

Beautiful !!!I was there on Confereration Cup Day a few years ago !Only problem I had was that I couldn't but a program with US money !!And it might be closing !

10 or so Years ago it was great exchanging money...you gave $100 US and received $140 Canadian....when you tried at end of the night to cash out and get US back, they ripped you off by charging another vig. One night I won big at Mohawk and cashed in all my Canadian money, I went back few years later and the rate exchange was nearly even...should have just left and kept the Canadian $$

I had to go into the casino and got 90 Canadian for 100 US !At the end of the day, I tried to exchange it back, and was told the conversion had to be done at a bank !

That whole money exchange thing was and still is a complete scam.At Flamboro Downs, you get a different amount if you exchange at the track, then walking down a flight of stairs and exchanging in the casino...it was drastic...few bucks...but it made no sense Fort Erie was good because they had separate windows to bet US and Canadian.

The laugh was on them !!!Jimmy wound up 2nd in the cup as a longshot because of a disqualification !!It was hard to believe, the horse that won broke at the wire and was lapped on by 3 horses !!Almost 500K race, 1st, placed 4th !!
